I dub thee Data's Beard 2.0

[shaft]

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes my Z77 was reborn into an x99.

While technically this one doesn't have the "award winning" moniker yet, I think its fair to say it would crush the competition.

Looks awesome

[obsidian]

That looks pretty okay, I guess, if that's all you can afford.

If I had to do it all again I should've went with a mATX or ITX board. Dunno what I was thinking. No one needs 5 pcie slots anymore.

[Captain]

What you should do is wait for Gwamps to post his weak-ass overpriced budget build again.

I love a black and white theme. Nice build

[Eraser]

No 1080 SLI?
You disappoint.

[shaft]

SLI is dead

I love a black and white theme. Nice build

Yes, I too like the B&W look and tidy cabling/tubing

[shaft]

Thanks guys. The watercooling is pretty fun. I might try hard tubing next.

They barely went up (~100points) compared to my 3770k @ 4.7Ghz

you've finally gone and done it

Sweet looking rig and great performance. The case looks really big though. What do you think you have invested in water cooling?

[shaft]

Case is 16.34" x 13.07" x 18.03", so its like a double width mid tower.

Watercooling was probably around $600. 2 blocks, 2 rads, pump, reservoir, tube and fittings. Take that with a grain of salt though, it could be done for much cheaper with basic components.

[YourGrandpa]

The water cooling looks really cool and that's enough of a reason to do it. But does it serve another practical purpose? Are you doing some insane overclocking?

[shaft]

Yes, also the more radiator space you can pack in your case the lower you can run your fans.

[YourGrandpa]

What kind of additional performance are you getting? Are you O/Cing the video care too?

[shaft]

32%, yes.

This guy has a lot of water cooling tutorials on his channel.

Want. Fu.

[SoM]

but that's custom liquid cooling compared to regular liquid cooling, you get the prior for looks

[obsidian]

When's the competition?

[AmIdYfReAk]

Looks good man!
